One nun I had in 7th and 8th grade her nick name was chopper. She looked like Moses had cleared the red sea for her, with fire in her eyes as she walked through the students either in the halls or the playground. Heaven help the poor boy she was headed to discipline. Girls never felt the wrath, never could figure that out.
But today like you guys just said it would be child abuse.

Come to think of it you're right about the girls Plum. Different set of standards I guess. Us boys were always dirty nasty creatures🙃 Was no such thing as equalitry. Ah well, long ago, and far away. We survived it and are pretty good fellas after all. Badbobby and Eastern write of us with,"fondness?"

At our age lets skip the oaring and go for that trolling motor so we can enjoy each others tales of the deep.

Yep ! Another parochial school survivor here ! Don't know where they got 'em, but the nuns at our school had these 'clappers' that they used to get attention in
class or to round us up after recess ! They were usually made of some hardwood like oak or walnut, with a finger notch in the middle and a hinge on one end ! They were slightly larger than a flip-phone, and made a loud 'clapping' noise like a drumstick on a wood block ! If you messed up, they were also held by one
end and swung downwards so that the other end would swing down on the hinge, right across
your knuckles ! Repeatedly !
Folks wanted to send me to Catholic high school after graduating grade school; told them I was going to public HS
and that I would be expelled in
the first three days if sent to the nuns again !

They must have passed those clappers out to the nuns when they graduated their schooling. When we heard that clicker and depending on the # of clicks even Satan would have been on the run.

I always thought that was their purpose. So I ran.

Back in the 70's there was a book out called Growing Up Catholic by a guy that went thru it. Can't remember his name but it was hilarious. Mostly because it was soooo true.
